Additional Information

3 Victoria Circus is called Cairndowan and there is also mention of Kildowan Villa, Dowanhill in Post Office Directories etc. It is hard to know if these relate to pre-existing features or are modern names. If pre-existing then this could be a saint’s name.

The proposed form reflects the fact that the underlying form is obscure.
